• Holds the evaporator coil/assembly or associated covers in place
• Prevents vibration, noise, and contact between the coil and cabinet parts
• Helps maintain consistent airflow for reliable cooling performance
• Commonly linked to rattling, buzzing, or loose parts around the freezer evaporator

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Handle evaporator and surrounding fins carefully; they are sharp and fragile
• Verify clip orientation against the OEM diagram before fastening
